Not really the same, according to the linked wikipedia article Arone was beaten, burned and raped with broomstick. So basic torture, which is still uncreative though.
IIRC the Airborne soldiers used food as bait to lure hungry kids into the compound so they attack them. Kinda like throwing tins of food into trenches.
That’s two different incidents both in March of 1993.
March 4th the Canadian troops stored food and water so it was visible from a public area and had a sniper set up to defend the food. Two thieves were shot several times in the back (in self defense /s) when the thieves continued to run after warning shots having been fired. One of the thieves allegedly even continued to fight while unconscious, because the killing shot was done to the back of the head at close range, so clearly also self defense. While attempting to run away one of the thieves were shot so badly that the troops could not move the body without it falling apart.
The only real overlap between this and the ww1 incident is that food was part. But in ww1 the food was offered, seemingly as a Christmas gesture, like “here’s some food, here’s some food, here’s a grenade”, not locked up like I Somalia.
Arone was found in a porta potty 12 days later on March 16th at an abandoned US army base. The wiki says nothing about Arone bring lured, he was just on the shitter outside the Canadian base.
Let that be a lesson to all: don’t use abandoned toilets near Canadian army bases, because you might get water boarded, burned with a cigaret on your penis and sodomized with a broomstick, before being beaten to death.
Shitbags are all around, but in civilized countries, like your politely murderous country, they’re exposed and not covered up. That’s why we know about it.
Holy shit. That’s basically how the Canadian airborne murdered Shidane Arone.
Not only are we war crimey, we’re uncreative.

Thanks for clearing that up, and reminding me that some of my country’s volunteers are absolute shitbags.
